this military campaign (Although the contribution of the French in
Arabia during WWI is not as well known as that of the British, they
played an important part in the war on the Hejaz Railway.
Established in 1916 under the command of Col. Bremond, the French
Military Mission (40 officers and 1,000 Muslim troops from North
Africa) operated in all sectors of the Hejaz Railway. French units
were attached to the southern armies of Princes Ali and Abdullah in
the Hejaz, as well as to the northern army under Prince Faisal. The
artillery battery of Captain Rosario Pisani provided vital support
for the Bedouin in their attacks against the well entrenched and
heavily armed Ottoman defenders. Pisani's units took part in
several raids with T.E. Lawrence and made up part of the great
offensive push to capture Damascus at the end of the war)
